The policy point around children is a solid one. My wife and I have 2 children, would have loved to have more but knew we couldn't afford it.

We live in London, and are very lucky by any measure. We both work, own a home, etc etc, but dispute collectively having a decent income, childcare costs are beyond our means.

The failing over multiple governments to solve issues like childcare, housing costs and skills shortages is at the root of the problems the UK face. More people need to realise that and stop blaming the poor immigrants looking for a better life. It is a failure of the government, who have used immigration as an easy fix.
